Affordable Prosthetic HandExecutive SummaryMany developing countries, such as Afghanistan, have a high percentage of amputees. Members of these countries can face discrimination, may not be able to attend school work or extracurricular activities. As a result, handicapped individuals and their families may face financial, physical, and mental struggles. Designing a prosthetic hand may result in a better quality of life for amputees and their families. A prosthetic hand would make it more likely for the amputees to find employment and education, thus improving the community. To ensure that the prosthetic is accessible for all, it must be affordable within an unsteady income, use unconventional energy and be durable.Table of Contents1.0 Problem Definition1.1 Background Research1.11 Afghanistan1.12 Functions of a Hand1.13 Material Selection1.14 Unconventional Energy1.15 Patents1.16 Laws and Regulations1.2 Stakeholder Needs1.3 Criteria and Specifications2.0 Project Plan3.0 Early EconomicsReferencesAppendix AList of TablesTable 1 A table demonstrating the criteria and specifications of the prosthetic hand.List of FiguresFigure A 1 A capture of the Gantt Chart used to plan this project.
